Decided to use the Pubs Galore site in the way I think it must have been intended, and picked St Austell as the place we were going to do a crawl. We usually only visit pubs in the Good Beer Guide, and found St Austell only had 1 such pub, the JDW Rann Wartha. Pubs Galore listed 10 pubs in the town so we decided to try them all.
St Austell seemed a strange layout, and we acquired a street plan and marked the 10 pubs, noted which ones needed photos as we intended to do reviews of all, and set off. A brief run list of them here, and I will get the site updated today with photos and reviews.
1. White Hart Hotel – St Austell House with Tribute & Proper Job on.
2. Seven Stars – St Austell pub with no real ale available.
3. Stag Inn – closed – said to open later today.
4. Rann Wartha – JDW with usual plus Bays, Tintagel and Titanic.
5. Hop & Vine – St Austell house with Tribute and Tinners available.
6. Queens Head – closed said to open 3pm.
7. Station – closed and shuttered up. Doesn’t look as though it was trading.
8. Duke of Cornwall – St Austell house with Tinners, Tribute and Black Prince.
9. Carlyon Arms – St Austell house with Tribute & Tinners. Unable to have Trelawney as they were unable to sell until Monday.
10. Queens Head – one real ale, Butcombe Bitter.
11. Stag Inn – 1 real ale, Skinners Betty Stogs.
12. Western – St Austell House with Tinners, Tribute and Dartmoor.
The beer was all ok, just got fed up with so much Tribute and none of my favourite HSD available.
